I think you're right, as it stands now, especially for platforms like Android with one canonical store that already has many free offerings. I use fdroid because i love the philosoply and am willing to put up with it but to be clear, the apps there are unprofessional and ugly and I get why most people don't.

But if this became a common practice I think people absolutely would. Tons of professional quality games instantly available for free is such an incredibly good value.
